I think it's toshiba that makes a 60GB drive that has a 16MB cache. It's also 5400 rpm instead of the normal 4200rpm for 2.5" drives. Supposed to make a decent speed increase on most systems, especially ones that use swap a lot, and the cache reduces the amount the drive runs, so it saves on battery a little too.
